I don't think that's quite correct...

3743: Completely, 100% supported by the bridge. Eligible for CP.
2952: 50-50 bridge-floor. Not eligible for CP; they are also on 3743's alliance.

488 is the tricky one. They are definitely on 3743 (completely supported by the bridge via 3743), and definitely on the bridge. From the angle of this picture, it's unclear whether they're even touching 2952; it almost looks like their bumper is going into a gap in 2952's bumper.

You're going to have trouble showing, just based on this picture, that 488 is not fully supported by the bridge. You've got to show first that 488 is contacting 2952, and then you've got to show that that contact involves 2952 supporting 488. I don't reasonably see that happening from this picture. Now, if someone else has a picture from another angle, or a clearer shot, that's different evidence.

Based on the picture, and based on 488 not apparently being supported by 2952, 1 CP.
